Charles Johnson writes, "We knew this was coming: Ahmadinejad says Hezbollah victorious", adding: The amazing part is that Hizballah claims to be both victor and victim—and the mainstream media are doing their best to support both mutually exclusive positions.Elsewhere, Andrew Stuttaford links to a piece in the Daily Telegraph in which Michael Nazir-Ali, the Church of England's Bishop of Rochester asks: So how does this dual psychology--of victimhood, but also the desire for domination--come to infect so many young Muslims in Britain?In the passage excerpted by Stuttaford, Nazir-Ali looks at one reason that Theodore Dalrymple also explored in depth as one of the causes of last fall's Paris riots. Update: More dual psychology here, as Val Prieto, guest-blogging at Michelle Malkin's, spots San Franciscans praising the famously pro-gay Fidel Castro: I've coined a term for people like the ones in the San Francisco and Harlem celebrating fidel castro's birthday: Vicarious Communists (or Marxists, or Socialist or fidelistas. The terms are interchangeable.)In a similar vein, Fred Siegel's Weekly Standard piece on H.L. Mencken and the psychology behind his anarcho-authoritarianism is also worth exploring.
